Theos-Talk Archives (April 2004 Message tt00113)

Dear Leon

Not directly linked to your kind comments, but I think that during the simple reading of Secret Doctrine and Isis, it is very important that we payattention to the signals that appears in the conscience, because the more you read it the more you deserve more knowledge but the path nearly always leads to meditation and I donīt know any other way to slay the lower conditions of ego without meditating, which teaches the silence of the mind.
So it seem s to me that the more you study the more you need to meditate orit will soon become a dead knowledge.
And dead knowledge only increases our ego.
The lower ego becomes more and more ignorant of the higher and we get farerand farer from our true origins, buried under huge amounts of statements and dead knowledge.

But from a theosophical perspective, on this physical plane the ego is as 
real as we are, and rather than escape from thinking about it, we have todeal 
with it.   

In any event, it's not ego to expect people to be perfect, but ignorance of 
the fact that such expectations cannot be fulfilled. Its egoistic, however, to 
think that one is perfect themselves.
